Description of Sulfitobacter guttiformis YMSW-M15

Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, and rod shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, glistening, and grayish yellow after incubation for 3 days on MA at 25° C. In the API 20NE system, positive for esculin hydrolysis; but negative for cytochrome oxidase, nitrate reduction, urease, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, β -galactosidase, indole production, and glucose fermentation. Arabinose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, glucose, mannose, mannitol, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, malic acid, and phenylacetic acid are not utilized as sole carbon sources. Strain YMSW-M15 (= NIBRBAC000509645) was isolated from a seawater sample at Gunsan , Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea .
